The Member of ECOWAS Parliament has called for a paradigm shift from the old approaches to addressing their fundamental challenges with strategic initiatives aimed at reducing dependency on foreign assistance and aid as member states.
Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, MP for Elembele and also doubled as the Deputy Minority Leader in Ghana’s Parliament on the floor of the ECOWAS Parliament noted “it is time we take bold steps for sustainable economic transformation and growth in our Sub- Region”.
This clarion call for action requires a concerted, multifaceted effort to fundamentally transform the Region’s economic structures and enhance self-reliance.
He said, “it’s imperative to invest in physical infrastructure to facilitate intra-regional trade and economic activities to lift our people out of poverty”.
